Winter is a cold month and the cold generally does nothing for our skin. It can in fact make our faces appear a little dull and lacklustre in style.
A great foundation boasts to conquer such effects. Choose one that boasts to moisturise the skin as well as to hide any unwanted blemishes.
Photo Ready in Natural Beige from the make-up experts boasts to provide users with a thick and creamy formula that is easy to apply. The easy to blend base from Revlon provides even coverage with a slightly glowing finish, it is also oil free, which makes it even better!
Next up is the Airflash foundation from Dior make-up. It is available from a range of beauty counters globally and boasts to use new technology in order to achieve a velvety soft touch, It also offers something a little advanced as it works as a spray on as appose to a cream or liquid formula!
The sheer matte foundation from Nars is also a must-have for foundation fans!
It is certainly a great investment for those that suffer from blemishes as it stays matte all day. Another similar product comes in the form of the Eraser in 021 Nude, which is priced at £9.90 in total from Maybelline, which is available nationwide!
The product glides on in a sleek fashion and without clogging, which offers a natural and sheer finish, and appears dewy.
Foundation is a great coverage option, if you however prefer something a little lighter in formula, opt for a tinted moisturiser. This is a great tool for a casual office look or for a day out on holiday. Many tinted creams in fact have SPF factors included in their ingredients, which in turn means the user can cover both their beauty and safety needs at one time!
Teanagers can be tricky to buy for but the shops have an amazing amount of products any teen would love, from stylish clothes to fabulous accessories. Shopping in Newcastle is a great experience and there is a Lipsey shop in St Andrews Way, which has a snug fitting black and beige dress that will cling to any teenage figure. Wear with a cute cut-off jacket.
Prefer to dress more casual go for tight tapered jeans in the brightest red from Topman at £36, then team it up with Allsaints Haywood striped crew top for a look that’s very in today.
Every teen loves shoes and there is wonderful choice in many of the Newcastle shops, but if you’re not shy try Aries court shoes in red that are priced at £100 at Carvela stockists nationwide, wow is all we can say!
Harder wearing and very retro comes in the shape of these studded cowboy boots in tan leather that are from Jules B.
There are lots of tempting accessories to finish your look off. A grey tweed messenger bag from Ted Baker is a good size for daily use, but for evenings opt for the feather print clutch bag from Mulberry as it adds a touch of class to evening wear.
Pop inside the Diva brush and Assistant comb to touch up that big hair look at the incredible price of £2.50 and £2. Vogetti has designed these, next add a bit of bling with Disney Couture at Psyche with the Snow White Poison Apple Ring, this gold ring is encrusted with red crystals and has a small green apple in the centre. This is the perfect gift for the big kid! Accessorize is a bazaar of glittering pieces but their stone cuff at £20 really makes a statement.
Donatella Versace is certainly renowned for her famous fashion sense and her recent collaboration with the highstreet chain H & M offered nothing less than her infamous fun fashion styles. The leading lady in fashion recently stated that ‘fashion should be more fun’ and after seeing her latest clobber, we certainly agree! In fact her designer pieces were fun with a capital ‘F’.
Think statement 80′s style jackets in rich hues, matching dresses in swirling patterns and if you are feeling extremely brave, matching leggings too! The whole look screamed ‘look at me’ and any one of the items featured in her recent collaboration will certainly get you noticed!
Tie the look together with blood red lips, smoky eyes, a cinched in waist, a leather studded belt and gold cuffs! Donatella would be proud!
The H & M collaborations with the infamous Versace brand went live in November, but we have heard rumours of a new collaboration soon! H & M are a hit with fashionista’s nationwide as they offer affordable staples as well as designer pieces that are right on trend for the season they appear in! They have collaborated with arrays of catwalk designers and all have so far been great success! We can’t wait to see whom they choose next!
Hopefully these collaborations will take place soon as us girls are always looking for an excuse to update our wardrobes! Check out your local H & M store for info on recent collaborations or alternatively shop online! This season is all about the sequin style, so hopefully H & M have this key trend tapped for now!
